Mission The mission of the History and Political Science Department is to foster a community of learners, who, as lovers of truth study history, political science, and geography. In recognition of both the dignity and depravity of humankind, our aim is to develop insight into past and present civilizations based upon our acknowledgment of God’s providence, the dependability of His promises, and His redemptive purpose on earth. Through the rigors of our disciplines, we prepare our students to influence and transform the world for Jesus Christ through their lives and vocations in obedience to the Greatest Commandment and the Great Commission. Learning Outcomes The department objectives are to increase the student’s general knowledge and understanding of history, to encourage analytical thinking in dealing with historical problems, including the relationship of Christianity to culture, to enhance proficiency in research and writing, and to stimulate interest in the reading of literature bearing on the discipline. Offerings in geography are designed to develop understanding of and appreciation for the physical and cultural landscapes. Emphasis is on regional studies. Those interested in acquiring a background in physical geography are urged to take physical science and geography survey. History Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in History is offered upon completion of the University baccalaureate and major requirements. The student is required to take the following (which will meet the general education requirements) before taking upper-division courses in history. These courses are pre-requisites for all upper- division courses in history. This requirement may be waived only with faculty signature.
